I was addicted to this
book. When I couldn't
read it, I was thinking
about it. Sherry knows
that her behaviors are
self-destructive, but
she really can't help
it. She wants to stop.
Each time she tells
herself it will be the
last. She thinks maybe
if she humiliates
herself enough, it will
prevent her from doing
it again. It is
heartbreaking. We are
told what her actions
are, but they are not
really described, so it
is not graphic. The
focus is on how her
actions affect her as
opposed to the actions
themselves. The story
manages to be both sad
and full of hope. I
highly recommend, but
keep the tissues handy.
